The present invention relates to an absorbent article (1) comprising an absorbent core (5) sandwiched between a liquid-permeable topsheet (3) and a liquid-impermeable backsheet (4), said article (1) being arranged along a longitudinal axis (y1) and a transversal axis (x1) extending in a perpendicular direction in relation to the longitudinal axis (y1) and said article (1) defining a front portion (6), a back portion (7) and a crotch portion (8), wherein said absorbent core (5) comprises an absorbent component (5a, 5b, 5c) enclosed by a core cover comprising an upper side and a lower side, and a sealing arrangement for joining said upper and lower core cover sides (11, 12) and comprising two channel sealings (9, 10), in the crotch portion (8), defining a first channel sealing width (w1) and a second channel sealing width (w2), and also comprising two side seams (15, 16) along the sides of said core (5), wherein a centre segment (5a) having a first width (a1) is defined in the absorbent component (5a, 5b, 5c) between the channel sealings (9, 10) and two side segments (5b, 5c) each having a second width (a2) are defined in the absorbent component (5a, 5b, 5c) outside each channel sealing (9, 10). Furthermore, the absorbent component (5a, 5b, 5c) is formed so that the total amount of absorbent material in the centre segment (5a) is generally equal to, or greater than, the total amount of absorbent material in each one of the side segments (5b, 5c), that a third width (b1) is defined between the channel sealings (9, 10) and a fourth width (b2) is defined between a channel sealing (9, 10) and a side seam (15, 16), and that the ratio of the first width (a1) and the third width (b1) is greater than the ratio of the second width (a2) and the fourth width (b2).
